hi! before we get to the actually interesting stuff, an introduction and some things to note. honestly, this'll probably be a mess where I mention what I'm looking for, what I can offer and what I'm interested in
- I'm ree, you can call me whatever you'd like though. - I'm in the CET timezone and while I'm pretty consistently active, I'm also having a rough time health wise atm. there may be days when I'm here but not well enough to rp but I'd love to chat and plot in the meantime? there will also doubtlessly be days, sometimes several at a time, when I disappear without warning. I'll try to keep those at a minimum, pop on just for a few minutes just to let you know or something, but I can't promise I always will. I'd like to keep this rp moving, so active partners (meaning a reply - rp or chat, either way -three times a week or so) are preferable. I don't expect you to be around daily, though, and if you ever need a break just let me know. as long as I know what I can expect I'm pretty good tbh - when it comes to post size, I'm a bit of a wild card tbh. I'm comfortable with one short paragraph for replies and I've been known to write 1.5k regularly. I tend to fluctuate between shorter posts and longer posts depending on the situation so don't expect great consistency there. I'm currently looking for something that requires 2-3 paragraphs on average, maybe a little less now and again, maybe a little more. I'm not looking for a partner who'll expect posts longer than 4-5 paragraphs (~500 words probably) as a baseline for now, though, so please keep that in mind. I'm also not looking for someone who posts less than four or five sentences as a minimum. - I love love love playing a group of characters. side characters, a larger group of mains, whatever the case, I just like having more than two characters to play with. it's less restrictive. - I'm lgbt and so are like 90% of my characters. I ask that you're comfortable with this, even if you're not looking for romance. on that same note, romance is not a necessity for me! platonic relationships, familial relationships, even antagonistic relationships are so much fun, too - I'm only looking for one or two partners atm. any more and I'll likely be overwhelmed
okay, now onto the good stuff. interests. I have a few plot ideas that you can ask for if you'd like, but I'd prefer to brainstorm something together? I find things last longer that way and both of us having a say can only be a good thing. that being said, if you have any ideas you really want to do or if you want to hear a plot, just say. I'm flexible. so, finally, interests!
- fantasy! medieval, modern, futuristic, some other era. all is good. - mythology. same vein kinda - crime is a lot of fun. criminals, crime fighters, both. all of it is good. mystery is also good, whether related to crime or not - slice of life is great, but only under certain circumstances - big world plots? like seafarers travelling the ocean or a roadtrip gone wrong or basically anything where the characters are moving and seeing a lot of different settings. time travel fits here as well - historical? again, under certain circumstances and generally I'm more after the aesthetic than anything just so you know alright, so, if you've read that whole mess and are still interested, feel free to either post below or pm me, whichever you'd prefer ^^

sure, I'd be open to discussing and seeing what we can come up with!

Great! Is there anything specific you wanted to do? If not, I was thinking we could maybe combine the ideas? A group of friends from college or something go on a road trip and somehow get involved with a criminal/some kind of crime? The crime genre interests me but I don't have much experience with it - just warning you

I was just about to suggest the same thing! did you have anything in mind for the crime?
and don't worry about it. a plot like this is probably a good entry point tbh and I'm rusty since it was a while ago I did something crime related so if not at least there's two of us lol

I don't have anything in specific for the crime. Though I did have a few general ideas. * I have one character, Carter, who's a bit of a thief. They could be stopped somewhere for the night and Carter pickpockets something off of someone. It could be very valuable, so the people he stole it from are after Carter and the group. Or if you want to bring fantasy in (I don't care if we do) it could be whatever gives a wizard his powers or something. * They could be witnesses to a murder or bank robbery or something and be on the run from the people that did it. * They could somehow get involved with/mess up a murder or bank robbery and be hunted by police and the people that were trying to commit the crime? * Also I have two sketchier characters that could cause some trouble. Carter is a thief and a fighter. Unnamed dude is just a sketchy guy that can get whatever you need + information so he gets into trouble sometimes
Wow sorry that took so long I'm playing overwatch so I'm writing between rounds.
But yeah I really haven't done any crime but I'm really excited to!

ooo I like those first two a lot? they both seem like they could go in really interesting and different directions. I'd be happy with both. the first one could easily turn into a more magical adventure thing if we went with the fantasy thing (not that that's a bad thing) and if we didn't, both of them could spiral really well

Post by . on Feb 2, 2018 17:15:54 GMT -5
Maybe the first one then? It'll be fun using Carter again, especially if he's the one that gets to cause all this trouble for the group. Maybe we can decide once we get started if we want it to go the magical/fantasy route? And maybe 2-3 characters each to give it a bit more of a 'groupish' feel I'm leaving for work soon but I'll be back on after work and I should be on pretty often over the weekend

sounds good to me and yeah, I absolutely agree. I'd be good with three if you are?
alright, thanks for the heads up ^^ I might be asleep when you get back (europe time yay) but we'll see
|

Post by . on Feb 2, 2018 17:22:09 GMT -5
Yeah, I can handle three. I just gotta figure out who else to use besides Carter
It'll be about five hours till I get home, maybe less if I get off early so I don't know what time it is for you but I at least have a timeframe of when I'll be home
And did you want a PM or another thread?

Post by 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 on Feb 2, 2018 17:24:39 GMT -5
yeah, I've got to figure out what characters I'll use as well ahaha
oh yeah it'll be like 4-5am then so I hope I'll be asleep
and usually I prefer pms? I'm cool with a thread, too, if that's easier for you, but pms are a bit easier to keep track of in my experience

as I'm already working on something similar with someone else, I don't think it's a good idea just muse wise? sorry. if there's anything else you'd be interested in, whether I mentioned it or not, feel free to let me know though because I'm definitely open to discussing something else?

I should be on pretty often this weekend. I've got my riding lesson at noon today though so I'll probably be gone for a few hours. Besides that, I'm on for anymore planning we want to do or if we want to get started

hey c: I'm not sure how much I'll be on today but I'm here for a bit now at least

Post by . on Feb 3, 2018 11:40:57 GMT -5
I'm actually leaving for my lesson. I might be on if I'm ready before it's time to get on and I'll most likely be on while I'm cooling my horse but right now I can't do anything

alright, I hope you have fun ^^ I'll probably be around for a while tonight as well so I'll see you then maybe

I did have fun and did pretty well but driving home was a pain. Snowstorm.
Anyway I should be on for a few hours at least? Idk my parents might want to go out for dinner, but besides that I'll be on

ahh, yeah, we're in the middle of a blizzard turned snowstorm so I feel you. a relatively mild one, but still. I haven't seen this much snow in years
I'll probably be on for a few hours as well, but probably not much more than two or three? idk I don't want to stay up all that late tonight

It's not horrible out here. They said 5-6 inches expected but it could be more. The roads aren't bad by me luckily but they were out by the barn
So what else do we want to plan before we get started?
|
|
|
Post by 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 on Feb 3, 2018 16:37:04 GMT -5
makes sense. the further out your get, the worse the roads would be. we have maybe 1 and a half - 2 feet here, more in certain spots? it's not so bad really, but after a few years of nearly nothing it's both a surprise and welcome. snow is so inconvienient but I love it
maybe just how they get in trouble at first? just so we have a springboard in place

Post by . on Feb 3, 2018 16:42:46 GMT -5
That's a lot! We haven't had that much snow in years... it's inconvenient but it's snow so it's kinda expected you know?
So I was thinking college aged friends (Carter doesn't really had friends but if one or two people are his childhood friends from before he turned all grumpy, then he'd come along) and Carter grew up poor and eventually resorted to stealing to provide money for him and his mom. So I'm thinking that maybe his mom is a little better off now which is why Carter went on the road trip but it's just such a habit now. Anyway, he sees something in this guy's hand (it can be like a gem if we want fantasy, or some kind of expensive jewelry if we want no fantasy) and so he just kinda pickpockets him when the guy puts it away or something, thinking he can sell it and maybe buy something nice for his mom and then he's caught. But since he's Carter, he doesn't give it back and returns to his friends and then these criminals are after them and Carter is the only one that knows why? Feel free to suggest something else. This is all I could think of

Post by 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 on Feb 3, 2018 16:55:25 GMT -5
yeah, true. I grew up with this or more as the norm but where I live now it is quite a bit, yeah
ooo I like the idea of none of the others really knowing what's going on, at least at first. I have to say, I getting more and more interested in involving some fantasy over crime lol I'm so predictable. do you want to play the character/s that convince him to go along or would you rather I do? I'd be happy to, but if so, we should probably also go over some basic idea of who knows who and how on this little trip before we start as well. otherwise, I can't think of much else that can't be covered as we go

Post by . on Feb 3, 2018 17:06:26 GMT -5
We haven't gotten more than a few inches in the past few years. I remember when I was younger and we got a lot more
So we wanna do the fantasy? Do we want our characters to be normal or have some fantasy element? Or maybe some of them do? But yeah Carter's definitely gonna hide what he did from everyone else because he wants the money he can get from selling it. You can play his childhood friend if you want. I'll just give you a rundown on his history and stuff his friend would know about him. Um character wise, I still haven't decided who I'm using besides Carter. But I'll probably use Riley and then pick someone else. Carter never went to college or got involved in sports or clubs or anything in high school so he'll probably just have one or two people he knows. Riley's pretty outgoing though so she could kinda be the one hat knows everyone and got them all together for this trip? Unless you wanted one of your characters to do that?

neither have we, which is a shame tbh I feel like snow isn't worth it unless you get at least a foot
if that's cool with you? I'd still really enjoy something more involved with crime if that's what you'd prefer (although magical crime is also 10/10) but I'm a fantasy girl at heart no, not at all, I'm okay with her filling that role. I think I want to use adam and francis for this one, they're twins so usually a package deal, and then Lee probably? you don't know them yet, obviously, so a quick run down. adam is the definition of a mum friend, very loyal and caring but also 100% ready to put you in your place at any moment. trusting, trustworthy and the kind of person people trust quickly. francis, his sister, is kind of mean to be honest? she's a grump and very straight forward and picks a fight with pretty much anyone she meets. painfully protective though and super clever so at least there's that? and if you befriend her she'd kill for you so I guess that's a win, too? lee is a manipulative little bastard when he wants to be but for the most part he's just friendly and chatty. definitely the leader type. incapable of controlling what he says yet actually a decent liar? it doesn't really make any sense but you'll see what I mean

Post by . on Feb 3, 2018 17:29:36 GMT -5
Yeah it's been way too long since we've gotten a foot. 4-8 inches is probably average for us?
I actually haven't done a ton of fantasy or crime so I'm up for either. Maybe the wizards or whatever that Carter stole the gem from are like outlaws in their world? Maybe they're on the run for something? Honestly I'm not very creative with fantasy or know much but I'd be willing to give it a try, yknow? I've got Carter. He's a huge jerk. Quiet. Grumpy. He's a thief, sometimes for money, but it's also the only thing he thinks he's good at. He's actually extremely polite and loving if you can break through his shell, but That's really hard so usually it's only the people that knew him before everything went downhill. Riley is the middle child of seven kids. She's outgoing and friendly. Very athletic and kind of a jock type. She tends to bottle things up and hide her feelings but she's always trying to be upbeat and optimistic Then for my third character, I considered my twins (Arlo and Chase) but didn't want to break them up. Or Gray (but I don't think he'd work well) so I'm gonna go with either Jordan, Frankie, or Mia...

Post by 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘯 on Feb 3, 2018 17:40:56 GMT -5
yeah, I get it. maybe for now we could just agree to keep it as an option and see if we end up going with it or not?
ooo they sound like fun! the one thing I could see is that having both a francis and a frankie could get confusing but that's not really a huge problem just something to note maybe?
also, should we take this to another thread / a pm? I generally prefer the latter but I'm fine with either
|
|
|
Post by . on Feb 3, 2018 17:47:28 GMT -5
Sounds good to me
True. I can stick with Jordan or Mia then. Jordan's extremely daring and sometimes reckless. She's got like a list of dares that she's trying to compete after her cousin dies. Mia is a nerd and a very good girl type, but she might learn to loosen up and have fun sometimes idk. So that's who I'm trying to decide between. Frankie's a little more of a rebel, but is changing a bit. She also has a son named Maverick from when she was 15-16. So if Frankie interests you I can still use her, if not I might go with Jordan
I usually prefer PM but I can do either
